We go through the process of baking a loaf of bread step by step using just a bowl, a wooden spoon and the ingredients. While you can easily use a stand mixer for the recipe, it is a distinct advantage to have practiced baking a loaf of bread by hand. It may be the only source we have for bread if things go south.

Recipe
468g or 3 1/4 cups white unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
Steps:
1. Mix
2. Knead
3. Bulk Fermentation (1st rise)
4. Shape
5. Proof (2nd rise)
6. Bake at 375°f die 30-40 minutes until bread reaches an internal temperature of 190-195°F
